At first I thought you meant the Senate would need to vote on whether Scalia was actually dead...
I don't know, we say "this close" but it's still 9 months away. And the Senate might take the devil they know over the possibility of the Democrats retaking the senate after the election. Say, Bernie as president, plus a Democratic Senate: current Republican senators can't possibly like the kind of nominee
that would bring about.
